Nebraska and Tressel and the mess that is the UNLV coaching search

Wick250:
Hey Talk,

If the rich guys that lose this power struggle become disaffected with UNLV, inform them that there is a school back east that would welcome their input (and their money.)  Heck, tell them that school would even name a building or two in their honor for the proper level of contribution. :P

Lets_Talk:
Wick250... LOL

One of the Fertitta brothers has a son who is going to Notre Dame next year on a football scholarship. So,cI'm guessing ND will be getting money from the family.

This whole  thing is turning into a huge fiasco. The AD has had phone interviews with June Jones, Ed Orgeron and Houston Nutt, and met in person with Jim Fassel. Meeting in person with Fasel is nothing special, given he lives in Vegas metro area.

Maloof are being tight lipped as far as money being given to UNLV in addition donations they already make. Same with Fertitta family. Sanchez is denying he is going to be the next HC. As you can see, the names mentioned are all retreads, and then a guy with no college coaching experience. Bobby Hauck's total compensation package when first hired was $350,000. As you can see, UNLV does not pay much compared to other FBS schools.

Earlier in the week, the local CBS affiliate posted on their website that Sanchez was going to be hired by UNLV. The school came out and refuted the story, as did Sanchez.

My personal feeling is UNLV would be wise to drop to FCS. Not many seem to agree.

If Sanchez does indeed get hired, the Fertitta family had better come through with Tens of Millions of $$$$$, or the AD will be a laughing stock.
